 Somethings happen in unexpected ways to create enduring results!
How about involving children who lost a parent to terrorism?

 Issues faced by Survivors of Terrorism in Pakistan

Numbers game
Will of God
Culture of silence
Survivors guilt
Loss of faith

Shahadat

Understanding PTSD Counselling
PTSD Recovery & Growth

Crying is ok
Taking a break is ok
Having a bad day is ok

We are going to be ok
2/
 Numbers game

Pakistan has about 625,000 survivors in a population of 223 million or .013%

Majority victims/survivors are of lower to lower middle segments

Chances of knowing a survivor are pretty less for most, esp for those with a voice

So ignorance prevails
3/
 Will of God

Everything happens by the Will of God, even terrorism!

How do you question God?

Even the question, How can killing innocents be His will? Is covered by the green, or a fear of being shunned for questioning the will

 We grew up with ‘you may eat or drink anything at Shia friends place but not water’ not that it stopped us gulping jugs after cricket or football!
After losing my wife in a suicide attack on 05/10/2009 & starting my ‘Say No to Terrorism’ crusade & sharing survivors stories
2/
 we thought of Terrorism as bombs, suicide hits & the sort, Sectarian violence was another genre!

A couple of years back I met a Shia lady whose husband & son were targeted

My response was, that’s sectarianism not terrorism, her reply changed my perspective

 terrorists want “to destroy the public's sense of security in the places most familiar to them” & put fear of what next, in their minds

She said, do you know what it feels like to live in fear for the life of your remaining children?

My Grand Father Mr. Ghulam Nabi Malik was Deputy #Principal Mayo School of Arts #Lahore in 1947 and took over at Partition as the first Pakistani Principal.

Class at Mayo School of Arts #Lahore c. 1952
It's Mayo School of Arts, when a "mix class" was started on the request of "Kutab Shaikh" to "Mr. Ghulam Nabi", the Principal of the Mayo School at that time, ..........

As kids saw ‘Bi-scope’ wala in our street in Lahore
The chant that I remember was:

Barah maan ki dhoban dekho
Dili a katab manar dekho
Dekho Gama palwan dekho
Aur bahut sa aur saman dekho
Aa jao aa jao doo paiaa mae sara Jahan dekho!

Memories
Then we got a View Master (late 1950 early 1960) & grandfather moved to Gulberg
Street life was left behind in Kucha Kakezain, Dili Darwaja, Sanda & Ichra; Ladu pethian walay & katlama included!

Places where perhaps a part of me still lives! ImageImageImageImage
If in another life a picture were taken I would’ve been the headstand kid!

Thinking of all who are awake so we can sleep!
They are awake even when they know how we ridicule them as an organisation & as people serving in it!

Life is not cheap, a 110/- rupee bullet does not kill a soldier it removes a lifelong investment in skills! ImageImage
ASK ME WHAT I WAS

I'll reply with what I've done.
Those things others would not do, I did;
Those rivers others would not swim, I swam;
Those hills others would not climb, I conquered;
Those bridges others would not cross, I crossed;
I have celebrated. I have mourned.
I have smiled and I have frowned.
I have seen death and felt its warm breath.
It did not faze me, for I was different.
I was a warrior.
You ask me what I was?
It was my destiny. Until my last breath.
To be a soldier.
And my spirit shall live forever

Participated in Zoom dua for Nadeem Mumtaz of Fazal Din & Sons, praying for his maghfirat & strength for the family I posted:

Assalam o alaikum all, two before & two following me ie five generations have climbed the steps to Fazal Dins the Mall Lahore,
my dua is that my generations to follow may also know the conviction that up these steps would lie answer to their medicines needs right away or procured in a couple of days, aamin
